Usage Note
Taxista is a common-gender noun: el taxista (male driver) and la taxista (female driver) — the article signals gender, not the word's ending. It is an informal but standard term; the formal equivalent conductor de taxi is rarely used in everyday speech.
Examples
"El taxista conoce bien la ciudad."
